Nappa is a hamlet in the Craven district of North Yorkshire, England. It is on the A682 road and 6 miles north-west of Barnoldswick and 10.5 miles west of Skipton. The population was estimated at 10 in 2010.[1]

The place name Nappa, first mentioned in the Domesday Book as Napars, is of uncertain origin, but possibly derives from the Old English hnæpp ġehæġ, meaning "enclosure in a bowl-shaped hollow".[2]

Nappa was historically a township in the ancient parish of Gisburn in the West Riding of Yorkshire.[3] It became a separate civil parish in 1866.[4] It was transferred to the new county of North Yorkshire in 1974. The civil parish was abolished in 2014 and amalgamated with the parish of Hellifield.[5]
